Does anyone have information about the Monypenny family who immigrated to Canada in 1883? The father was William and the mother Mary Jane Flavelle. Their son William wrote 2 volumes of a biography of Disraeli.

William Flavelle Monypenny (7 August 1866 – 23 November 1912) was a British journalist and editor who was the biographer of Benjamin Disraeli.
Monypenny was the second son of an Ulster family of Scottish descent. His father, William Monypeny of Ballyworkan, was a small landowner. Monypenny himself spelled his surname Monypeny until 1898. He attended the Royal School Dungannon and Trinity College, Dublin, where he distinguished himself in mathematics. From there he attended Balliol College, Oxford, but left after a year due to ill health
